what a load of shit... talking back to when earth had 2000 ppm is nonsense. It's the last 100000 years that matter, and unless you want all major cities under water.... Here's a good refute of the main arguement of these bozos... https://skepticalscience.com/co2-lags-temperature.htm It's like listening to a commercial radio station. You can sense the undertones of wanting to sell you on their religion.

Nice! Chris, I keep asking you to explain 'the science' to me. Shall I ask again?

I'm not impressed by arguments from authority. You'll need to explain how CO2 added by humans does 'all that'. Until you can, I'm dialed out.

But keep it coming mate!

I thought the linked rebuttal to their only germaine point was pretty good. Besides, as far as I can see, the models have been creepily accurate. YOu can still get Jeremy Rifkin's book, "entropy" written in the 1980s, that made sense to me at the time. "Accross the west, wildfires burn for months on end" "Canada will be overrun". etc... From the front cover at the time. I have a copy but I can't find it. You can't create order without creating disorder, in accord with the second law. so the more we speed things up, the worse it gets bacically, unless we get a hell of a whole lot more efficient, and burning fossil fuels ain't efficient at all. If you're smart, and these afforementioned bozos with an ax to grind are probably a bit smarter than me, you can pretty much use a big brain to justify yourself out of anything, in the interest of a comfortable conscience, but someone is always gonna come along and prick it. Truth will out in the end. '
